Comment(by arma):

 mit.edu is only there by accident. I was using it for testing. Nobody was
 supposed to know -- it was not until somebody else added a feature to
 publish it that everybody noticed.

 The goal here is to make sure that it's at least as hard to get an address
 at that domain as it is to get one at gmail.

 So we should probably remove yahoo from the list too.

 Can one gatech student/staff make an unlimited set of gatech addresses? If
 so, that's not so good.

 Also, if the goal is to help people in China, China has already over-run
 this bridge distribution strategy (via gmail and yahoo accounts). So what
 you should really want is a separate distribution bucket, with its own
 bridges. Which sounds like a fine thing, except we don't have any
 developers working on this sort of thing.

 Maybe you want to pick up bridgedb and help?
